French Toast Roll-Ups - cream cheese, fruit, or whatever fillings you like rolled up in cinnamon sugar bread. the-girl-who-ate-everything.com
Ingredients
8 slices white sandwich bread
softened cream cheese, diced strawberries, or Nutella
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon
butter, for greasing the pan
Cut the crust from each slice of bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin.
Place about 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen filling 1 inch from one end of the bread in a strip. Roll the bread up tightly and repeat with the remaining pieces of bread. I really like cream cheese with diced strawberries as one combination and Nutella with diced strawberries as another combination.
In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a separate shallow bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
Heat a skillet set over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter.
Dip each bread roll in the egg mixture coating well and then place them in the pan seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning them to cook and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add butter to the pan as needed.
Add cooked rolls immediately from the pan to the cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered in sugar. You can serve with syrup for dipping but I think they're perfectly good all by themselves.
In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.
Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
Graham Cracker Reindeer Snacks. An easy Christmas snack for kids!
Ingredients Needed: Graham Crackers Frosting in a squeeze tube – I used chocolate Small twisty pretzels Mini M&Ms or chocolate chips Regular M&Ms – If you want them to have red noses, Christmas colored ones will work better because they have more red M&Ms
How to assemble the reindeer snacks: 1. Split each graham cracker sheet into 2 equal pieces. 2. Turn the graham cracker so that the point is at the top and you have a diamond shape. 3. Put a dot of frosting on each side of the cracker near the top and press a pretzel down on each dot. 4. Put two dots of frosting on the middle of the graham cracker for the eyes. Then place 2 brown mini m&ms or chocolate chips on those frosting dots. 5. Add one more dot of frosting near the bottom point of the graham cracker and place a red m&m there. 6. Place them all in the fridge so that the chocolate will harden up some and all of the pretzels and M&Ms stay in place.
